CVPR Week 8: Renal diseases Part B Flashcards
SLE AKA
Systemic lupus erythematosus
SLE pathology
auto-immune disease
SLE is most common in?
- Women
- and is 2-3 times more common in black and hispanic populations
SLE clinical consistency
clinically very heterogenous
SLE organ systems affected
affects multiple organ systems and is a multi-system disease
SLE hallmark
- auto-antibodies
- ANA, anti-double stranded DNA, anti-Smith antibody
SLE diagnostic criteria
SLE skin findings
Malar Rash
Lupus nephritis
- Renal disease causes significant morbidity and mortality
- Glomerulonephritis WHO classes I-VI
Lupus nephritis pathology
- Caused by immune complex deposits (deposits may cause GBM duplication called “tram-tracking”
Lupus nephritis immunofluorescence microscopy
staining for IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C1q (=full house)
Lupus nephritis full house

Class I Lupus nephritis
minimal or no abnormality
Class II Lupus nephritis
mesangial GN
Class III Lupus nephritis
Focal proliferative GN

diffuse proliferative GN (most common)
Class V Lupus nephritis
membranous lupus nephritis
Class VI Lupus nephritis

What is Amyloidosis?
- A group of systemic diseases defined by deposits of extracellular fibrillar proteins
Amyloidosis pathology
Deposits of extracellular fibrillar proteins
- deposits cause tissue damage and impair organ function
- Deposits are of abnormal misfolded proteins that normally would be degraded by macrophages
Amyloidosis is associated with?
neoplastic, inflammatory and inherited disorders
Amyloid definition
- Amyloid is a broad term encompassing > 20 different proteins that can form abnormal fibrils
- Fibrils with beta-pleated sheet conformation
How are amyloid fibrils arranged
in beta-pleated sheets
